Tuesday, May 21, will go down in 4he archives of the Y. M. C. A., in Jtichmond aa one of the red letter days of the campaign for a local association, which in reality has been conducted for many years, as the board of directors was elected, at the Commercial rooms by thirty-seven Incor jiorators, while the banquet given at jright by and at the expense of the ladies of the churches of Richmond, under the auspices of the young men's committee, was a fitting climax to the labor that has thus far been done In Richmond toward the cause. Trustees' Choice Delayed. Shortly after five o'clock thirty-sev-rn men gathered at the rooms of the

Commercial club to elect directors

suid trustees. The fifteen directors were named, but owing to a technicality in the law requiring the election of trustees within thirty days after the articles of incorporation are filed, the selection of the seven trustees was postponed until next Monday night at I:3f o'clock, at which time the incorporators will again meet and Jiame the trustees, who will have been nominated by the executive committee in the meantime. The executive committee was appointed a nominating board and will select a number of r.ames of men who are prominent in Klehmond's business affairs and varied interests and these will be ballotted upon. Directors Are Chosen. The director elected Tuesday afternoon are Geo. H. Knollenberg. Sharon E. Jones. E. K. Shera, K. G. McMahan. "W. S. Hiser. D. K Ellabarger, A M. Gardner.

' After completing a long drawn out fight with the city of Richmond, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company has declared war on the C, C. &. lu railroad, and a hard fight is predicted. At the meeting held Tuesday afternoon between President Hugh SicGowan, General Manager Reynolds, Mr. Lappel and General Counsel Winters, of the T. H. I. & E. and the city

officials, Mr. McGowan stated that the

problem of getting the large passen

ger and freight cars wnicn will ne run on the traction line, under the Main street bridge, is a most complicated one and that it must be solved before an attempt is made to establish a through freight service between, the two tei-minal points of the line. Mr. McGowan stated That he would apply to the state railroad commission to have that body order the C, C. & Li. to raise its bridge across Main street. Mr. McGowan. also stated that in case the railroad commission refused to take this action the company would ask the city to increase the Main street grade so that there would be two or three feet more clearance

between the car tracks and. the bridge. Has Always Opposed. T5ie C. C. & Li. has resisted every attempt to have the bridge raised and it is- an assured fact that when the petition of the traction company is brought before the railroad commission it will meet with stiff opposition on the part of the railroad company. To raise the Main street bridge would mean that the grade of the C, C. & Li. roadbed through the city would have to be considerably altered, which work would require a large expenditure of money. The city will assist the traction company in its efforts to have the Main street C. C. & It. bridge rais

ed.

President McGowan states that work on the f reiKbt route through, the north

part of the city will begin in the near

future and he promised that this work would be completed by November 1. As soon as the franchise applied for by the T. H. I. & E. is drawn up. ratified by council and accepted by the traction officials, it is quite probable that council will pass another ordinance permitting the operation of freight cars on Main street pending the completion of the north end route.

ANOTHER DAY OF BIG VOTING

In another day of phenominal voting Miss Elizabeth Lashleys total vote has been pushed well over the 100,000 mark, being the third contestant so far to run up so high a vote. Miss Sands increased her total vote to over 117,000 votes. There is a battle royal onr between Miss Sands and Miss Lashley and it is safe to predict that the winner between these two will not have been picked until the last votes

hare been counted. In the man teacher class there are surprisingly few votes cast each day and it Is in this class that we look for the greatest surprises when it comes to the show down and all the reserve votes are turned in. Less than two weeks now remain in which the contestants can solicit votes and now if ever is the time to hustle. (Continued on Page Two.)

ACCIDENT AT ALBANY, IND.

Rumors of a big explosion or an earthquake shock spread about Richmond this morning and manyTnquiries were received by the Palladium. At Easthaven the shock was distinctly felt, also at Earlham college, and at various other places over the city. The affair seems to be fully explained by an explosion of the nitroglycerine plant of the Independent Torpedo company this morning at about 9 o'clock near Albany, Ind.

OMAR G. MURRAY HAS BOUGHT BUILDING LOT. O. O. Murray has bought of John W. Weller the building lot on South Fourteenth street, just south of Charles E. Shivelcy's residence. It is understood that Mr. Murray will erect a modern residence at an early date.

It is rumored that an effort will b made to prevent the Terre Haute, In

dianapolis & Eastern traction company from operating freight cars on Xorth Twenty-third street, which runs through Glen Miller park. The report is that Attorney P. J. Freeman, who resides at Twenty-third and Main streets, intended to ask for an Injunction against the company to prevent It from using North Twenty-third street. Mr. Freeman denies that he contemplates at the present time such action but he states that the citizens In the east part of the city should ask for an injunction against the traction company. Mr. Freeman resents the action of the city in granting the traction company the privilege of placing tracks in the park, which, he states, has been most zealously guarded by the city in the past. May Taks Such Action. "When Mr. Merrill told me Tuesday that the traction company had accepted the terms of the city and would run its freight line along North Twenty-third street, I remarked In an off hand manner: not if I can stop the company from doing bo by applying for an Injunction.? stated Mr. Freemar. He also said that he had not yet fully examined the question "of whether .th,. company could be prevented from using North Twenty-lhJrd street. He said that so far as lie knew now the company , could not bo en Joined sj he wan of Jhe opinion that Twenty-third street is a public thoroughfare end had never been vacated by the city. Mr. Freeman Intimated that if he found on examination that the company could be enjoined he would take euch action. Study Smells a Rat. City Attorney Study smells a rat in the reported effort to enjoin the company from the privilege of running its freight route along Twenty-third street. He is suspicious that such a plan might be welcomed by the traction company in hope that the action would have the effect of permitting the company to use Main street on which to operate Its freight cars. Mr. Freeman denies that there re any

grounds for such suspicion. He states

that he Is not an agent of the traction

company nor has any connection with

it and that if he did bring suit for In

junction It would bo only as a citizen who objects to having a freight line run through a public park.
